LONDON, Nov. 10.-The gloom that is
felt in the fatherland over the condi-
ton of the good old WIlhelm's heir
casts far-reaching shadow, and which
is especially dark here in England.
Prince Frederick William is dear to
English hearts. He is cordially liked
here, and unfeigned sorrow is felt for
his sad and helpless condition. No one
would be very much surprised to hear
of his death, and nearly all who speak
of him seem to consider his case as
hopeless and his death only question
of short time. The gravest rumors
are daily put in circulation. About
o'clock this afternoon it was whispered
about that the prince had died. This
was SOCn afterwards denied, but the
denial
DID NOT COME SOON ENOUGH
to relieve the stock market of the dire
effect of such dismal news. Russian
securities Immediately fell over two
points and very little business was done
in other securities. The market be-
came very dull and fiat and brokers eX-
ceedingly cautious. The British Med
ing of the epiglottic folds adds greatly
to the gravity of the case and prevents
an inspection of the affected parts
below. The cancer theory is generally
accepted among medical authorities and
others; nothing else explains so salts
factOrily the stubborn character of the
disease. What slight hope is felt for
the success of an operation and of
the princes recovery is buoyed up by
the patients iron nerve and wonderful
cheerfulness. The consultation of ply
sicians has decided that an operation is
necessary. There is no hope of saving
the princes life without it, and perhaps
the operation itself will prove fatal. 1t
will be performed at Berlin by either
DR.. Bergman, the German surgeon, or
by DR.. Mackenzie himself.
THE EMPEROR
is exceedingly distressed, and the poor
old man, who is lowering on the edge of
the grave, will receive his death war
rant if his son SuccumbS to the surgical
knife. He received only his intimate
friends to-day and awaits anXiOuSly and
tremblingly every bulletin from San
Reno. The suspense is telling badly
upon him.
The Lancet has received telegram
from San Reno which states that por-
ton of the recent growth in the Crown
Princes throat will probably be sent to
Prof. VerschOw for an analysis, but
owing to slight edematous swelling at
the Oritice of the larynX, an operation at
present is impossible at that part.
REV. CHARLES A. BERRY,
who arrived at Queenstown to-day on
the Britannia, was interviewed on board
the vessel in regard to his probable re-
turn to America to assume the pastOrate
of the late Henry Ward Beecher's
church. Mr.. Berry said he was greatly
impressed by the cOrdiality of the Brook
Ign people, but before accepting
Plymouth pulpit he intended to consult
his family and his old flock at WOlyer-
hampton.
He enjoyed his trip to America very
much.
THE wILSON-LAFFAREL TRIAL
is the growing sensation of the hour in
Paris. Every one is talking about it
and Yesterdays expose makes it look
very black for those who are implicated
in the affair. 1t is now asserted that in
view of the new evidence against Wilson
and the exposure Of his practice of
dating his letters year back he cannot
escape punishment, unless he takes the
same course as the discreet Danlau and
disappears from Paris while there is yet
time,
